I broke nc after 8 days as I felt I needed to apologise for how I reacted when we broke up (a couple of weeks of begging, no name calling or been mean)

This is what I sent

I want to apologize for how I acted following our breakup. I’ve had time to reflect and I now understand my anxious attachment style was driving my behavior. I completely respect and understand your need for time and space and I ultimately want what’s best for you. I hope we can talk again at some point but will leave that to be your decision. I hope you’re doing well.

It was pretty late when I sent that but when I woke I up I had a reply

Aww thank you for the message! It’s totally fine - I’m sorry too for everything and I never wanted to hurt anyone especially you! Hope you are doing well still and running / eating well and sleeping! Yeah I hope we can talk soon too in the future x

She blind sided me early feb with the breakup I think more to work related stresses than anything to really do with me, she first said I had done nothing wrong but later did admit that I was distant when we weren’t together and we didn’t do enough as a couple when we were (things I said I would be more than happy to work on for her) And that she wanted time to find herself again.

Previous to the 8 day nc she said she loved me but then the day after she told me to forget about her.

I’m pretty sure she is an dismissive avoidant and i know from watching vids on them they do shut down when the stress gets too much.

It’s now been 4 days into nc again I’m not going to message her as that last exchange specifically states for her to contact me .

Has anyone else had a similar experience like this?
